American Crane Equipment Corporation (ACECO), a privately held U.S. company with headquarters in Eastern Pennsylvania, is a leading manufacturer of cranes, hoists and other material handling equipment, as well as components and parts for standard, custom and nuclear applications.
Our three plants feature a 220,000 sq ft combined capacity of manufacturing space and 150 ton lifting capacity. American Crane has one of the largest floor type horizontal boring mills in the Northeastern United States along with an onsite 200 ton load testing tower. This expanded manufacturing capacity, coupled with highly skilled labor, allows American Crane the scalability to meet future market demands.
From the start, American Crane made the strategic decision to maintain the in-house resources for engineering, manufacturing and field service needs to assure consistent quality and schedule adherence. Our engineering staff consists of seasoned mechanical, electrical and structural engineers, including world class nuclear seismic experts. American Crane's engineering capabilities include mechanical and machine design, structural design and analyses, dynamic modeling and seismic, failure modes and effects analyses, complete control system design, remote systems, automated systems, software development (including real time graphics,) complete licensing success with NRC, and support for 50.59 evaluations.
As a supplier to the nuclear industry, American Crane has maintained a Quality Assurance Program since 1996 that meets both 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, and ASME NQA-1 standards. This quality program has been audited by commercial nuclear utilities, NUPIC, and DOE contractors. Non-nuclear augmented quality programs are also available. American Crane's welding is performed to AWS D1.1 or D14.1 standards and our in-house non-destructive testing is performed by SNT-TC-1A qualified personnel.
American Crane's Service & Parts Department can provide services such as load testing, product support, outage support, retrofit and upgrades, OSHA and other inspections, spare parts and custom fabrications. Our parts department maintains an online catalogue (store.americancrane.com) of over 40,000 items featuring standard cranes & hoists, rigging, trolleys, lifting devices, spare parts & much more.

American Crane has machining capabilities, including numerous CNC and manual machine tools, and a 7" horizontal boring mill with 30 foot horizontal travel and 13 foot vertical travel.
We specialize in Critical Lift Cranes for special applications when failure is not an option. These cranes were designed and built for applications handling high value equipment, radioactive containers, and/or loads carried over critical equipment. Critical lift cranes are also used when dropped loads could cause critical schedule delays and/or difficult load lifting configurations exist. These cranes can feature single failure proof designs, redundant braking systems, PLC controls (including safety critical,) anti-collision protection, variable speed controls (including micro speeds,) and real time X, Y, & Z positioning.
From complex custom equipment to standard equipment and parts, American Crane can meet all your material handling needs.
